Creation
God is Multifacial
At church today, the priest told of a little girl who was learning about Jesus nearing Christmas time. She asked how all of God could fit into a little baby? He said that was a good question. Not only is God fully and completely in Jesus, He is in each one of us too. The […]
Creatively Enjoying Creation
My dad got me a new “real” camera for my birthday a couple of weeks ago. I have been playing around with it and figuring out how it works. This evening, I went outside and took some shots of the near full moon and the sunset. The results were amazing. I even impressed my dad […]
What Belongs to God
Today, the Gospel reading at church included Jesus’ famous response, “… repay (render) to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God.” I thought the priest gave a great interpretation of the message. Perhaps I had heard it before, but it really struck me. The coin that was used to pay the Roman […]
A Welcomed Invitation
Today I took my mom to her exercise class and sat in the waiting area as always. There are usually a couple other caregivers there, but today I was alone as I watched the class. After about 20 minutes, a woman who I have met a couple of times walked in. She invited me to […]
Beauty in the Rocks
It was a gorgeous Fall day today, so after lunch, my mom and I went to a park that is full of beautiful rock formations. She had not been able to walk through that area in years. I had, however, and knew there was a very nice paved trail that took you through many of […]
Longest Walk Yet
Today was just a gorgeous Fall day. The sun was bright and warm. The air was clear and crisp. The wind was light and breezy. There were still several butterflies flitting about. My parents and I headed outside to enjoy the afternoon. A few days ago I contemplated cutting down the waning flowers in the […]
So Many Butterflies
The other day, my mom and I noticed several butterflies flitting about. We found out that there is an unusually large number of butterflies migrating through the area this year. As I was out and about today, I saw them everywhere. They were in the bushes, trees, even weaving in and out of traffic. I […]
A Little R&R
My sister came to spend the weekend with my parents, so I made plans to visit a friend and headed to the mountains. On the way, I stopped at an apple orchard that was somewhat disappointing – especially compared to those I explored on the east coast. But I did buy some apples from their […]
Origin of Man
My brother who lives in another state is here to visit for a couple of days. My other brother is here also. They are both computer programmers/engineers. When they get together with my dad the previous physics teacher, there are always various in-depth conversations. Most of the time I listen for a while, then move […]
Watching Bats
We made a trip up to the cabin this afternoon and it was beautiful as usual. As the sun disappeared behind the mountain, the few clouds that lingered seemed to be on fire. I put on my sweatshirt, grabbed a chair, and sat out on the deck to watch. The orange sky gradually grew darker […]
Still Finding God
